We work with partners both to help support us as well as to provide opportunities for us to serve the world as the hands and feet of Christ in this time and place.

PARTNERS IN MINISTRY:

Northern Virginia Lutheran Campus Ministries, Inc. (NOVALCM) is a partnership between numerous local congregations to support and staff Lutheran ministry to college campuses in northern Virginia such as ours. We are further lovingly supported by regional church partners and individual friends.

United College Ministries in Northern Virginia is an ecumenical organization sponsored by the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Episcopal/Anglican, Presbyterian (USA), United Church of Christ, and United Methodist denominations of the Christian faith. They are kindred spirits to our ministry on campus and we try to work together and support each other.
